Electronic Monitoring

The Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office offers an in-house detention program using a GPS electronic monitoring system. This offender-pay system provides an alternative option to incarceration for approved, non-violent offenders who may require less than institutional custody.

iSECUREtrac Corporation, based out of Omaha, provides the Sheriff’s Office the most reliable cellular based electronic monitoring systems on the market, including house arrest, curfew management, GPS location and alcohol monitoring.

The potential client completes an application (see below) and with his/her attorney, submits that to the Electronic Monitoring Division for processing. The client is required to attend an interview with EM staff and rules and regulations are explained and then it is determined whether the applicant is approved for EM. The Judge, County Attorney and EM staff all must be in agreement for the applicant to receive EM instead of jail time.
